SOUTHERN PINES
It took almost six years but
what was on “the other side of
the fence” was indeed better.
But, for fooling around with it,
a 90-year old man, described as
“just plain mean,” and his grand
daughter gotj themselves a jail
term in Moore Recorder’s Court
Monday.
Brock Gaddy of Southern
Pines, and his 24-year-old grand
daughter, Delores Temper, were
charged with trespass and mali
cious destruction of property.
According to Southern Pines
police officers who arrested Gad
dy about a month ago, the trouble
grew out of a peach tree that
Gaddy planted several years ago.
At the time the aged Negro
thought the land on which he
planted the tree was his.
A survey conducted about three
years after indicated, however,
that the tree was just over Gad
dy’s property line on land owned
by Yank and Matilda Williams.
The Williamses had offered, they
said, to let Gaddy remove the
tree. They had even encouraged
such action, they told officers.
But Gaddy didn’t move the
tree and it continued to grow.
The Williamses nurtured it along,
pruning and spraying it until,
finally, this year, it bore fruit.
Gaddy decided the peaches
were his, according to testimony
in court. He got-embroiled in an
argument with the Williamses
over ownership but the Williams
es contended it was on their
property and that they had kept
it in good condition. The peaches,
they said, belonged to them.
Gaddy admitted to officers he
directed his granddaughter to
cross the property line and knock
the peaches down, a<id the tree,
too. if she could.
Arrested by Chief C. E. Newton
early in July, Gaddy was docket
ed for a hearing in Southern
Pines Justice of the Peace court.
He refused before Lloyd T.
Clark, Justice of the Peace, to
take an oath, saying he had never
taken one before because it was
against his principles.
“I never swore in my life,” he
said.
Clark, faced with the impossi
bility of hearing testimony when
the defendant refuses !to be
sworn, had to remand the case to
Recorder’s Court.
Both Gaddy and his grand
daughter received 15-day terms
in Moore County jail, which were
suspended on payment of costs
for each. They apnealed the sen
tences to Superior Court and
were placed under $50 bonds
each.
